I see couple of posts having this question and know this question already discussed before.

But what is confusing me is whether the correct answer should start with word body or bodies?

what is the correct answer for following questions Lions have scars on thier bodyLions have scars on thier bodies ?

Americans have trees in their house ?Americans have trees in their houses ?

Monkeys have a short nose ?Monkeys have short noses ?

The singular option
such statements are meant to convey a characteristic of the group

however, i would pick 'Lions have scars on thier bodies' if each one of that group(ie the lions) had more than one body. assuming that lions have one body each, it requires that 'scars be on their body'.
